Updating your device

Your device must be connected to the Internet and signed in to your Jolla account. If your Jolla account is registered for Early Access releases you should receive an OS update notification when an update is available. If you have decided not to take the Early Access registration then you will get the OS update typically one week later.

We warmly recommend making some 3-4 GB of free space to the internal storage of your device before starting the update. Move your pictures and videos to the SD card (or to your PC or cloud service). After the upgrade turn on the option to save pictures and videos directly from the camera to the memory card (Settings > Apps > Camera). This is important particularly in case of "Jolla 1" devices (product name "Jolla" in Settings > About product).

This is the usual drill before attempting to update your devices:

If you use Phonehook from OpenRepos, uninstall it before upgrading.

If you use oFono from OpenRepos, revert to the official oFono before upgrading (or else you may face problems with LTE etc.).

If you have Call Recorder from Openrepos installed, uninstall it before the upgrade.

If you use Patchmanager, revert all applied patches before upgrading.

Take a backup of your data before attempting to update your device and save the backup to an SD card or to some other off-device location (PC, your cloud service). Note that videos and images are not included in cloud-based backups. Do not reboot the device while the update is in progress. Do keep the phone connected to a battery charger during the whole process. Device screen may blank out during the update process; you may waken the display by a short press on the power key to monitor the progress.

@jovirkku - could you please add the size of the download, now and for future release announcements?, I may be in a minority, but I do not have WiFi at home and have limited data plans, so it would useful to know the size of the update, thanks.

The "release to all" of SailfishOS 2.1.2.3 was a couple of days ago (2017-10-09), but checking manually under Settings > Sailfish OS updates still states "Up to date" on two Jolla 1 phones under 2.1.1.26!?!

While I could update at the command line, I wonder what is wrong here?

Hi Jolla, Still no update on my Jolla 1. I currently use SFOS 2.1.1.26. I install 2.1.1.26 during the short public roll out period. Is it normal (phased roll out) ? Need be patient, or a bug exist ? Thanks for your answer.

Sorry about this. There was entry for 2.1.1.26 for preventing it from offering downgrade when we halted the 2.1.1 roll out. Unfortunately that was also blocking the update notification now. This has now been fixed and you should be able to get 2.1.2.3.

E-mail sound setting is not respected. I have set "No sound" in both current ambiance and sound settings, but every mail makes a chime which is annoying. Changing to silent ambiance silences them. This used to work with previous release.

AFAIK (we need confirmation from official from within Jolla Oy) :

Because Alien dalvik relies on the bits present in the actual Kernel and libs, and upgraded (Kit-kat based) Alien Dalvik would require an Kit-kat compatible update kernel and drivers than what is currently availble on the Jolla. (On the other hand, there are a couple of other smartphone with similar or identical chipset that got a port of Kitkat, so somewhere Qualcomm must be in possession of an appropriate kernel/driver set).

Alien Dalvik is a commercial closed source product. And Jolla 1 is an old device. It might be that the licensing agreement between Jolla Oy and Myriad doesn't cover upgrades to Jolla 1 smartphone.

This is the first time I have issues with an update on my Jolla 1, where I don't have any hacks/openrepos stuff applied. It is stuck at 0% for obout 22 hours now. What should I do, wait some more time? Or force reboot by removing battery? Or something else?

Issues with Dual sim aquafish.
1. The Bluetooth gets connected to the car but does not work with Sim2.
2. On Bluetooth when one makes a call out using Sim1 as default the phone used sim2 instead and got billed for the call.
3. Weather display on the home screen does not connect to internet even restarting the phone does not help.
